Hi,
I build a asp.net web application to update user accounts in Active
Directory (AD). This application works fine on my test server when I
acces the web application on the server it self and update an user
account (using an administrator account).

Here comes the problem I have:
scenario 1:
When I try to run the application from a client machine, I can NOT
update the user account (general access denied error, on the
CommitChanges() method). I tried using the same administrator account
as above!

scenario 2:
I do NOT want to use Basic Authentication for this application, still I
tried to run it with Basic Authentication using the same settings as
above and believe and or not it worked fine.

My questions:
1. Why can't I update an user account from a client machine while this
works fine on the server using the same account?

2. Why does it work using Basic Authentication, while Windows
Authentication fails?

Please help me out with this. I'm really out of clue.
Thanks in advance,
Ajnabi.

Re: Sharepoint Foundation 2010... If it is a standalone server, you can also use a local user account, rather than a domain account. ...(microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices)

Re: SBS shares. Theres no security... Go into the event log on the server, open up the security tab, and montor when you boot that system. ... No, the rogue PC does not have a "local" user account in common with SBS, nor a domain nor Device Account. ...(microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs)
